POND SKIMMERS
Pond Skimmers provide efficient mechanical filtration by removing unwanted debris such as leaves and twigs from the surface of the pond before it had a chance to fall to the bottom of the pond. This significantly reduces the maintenance required for the pond and improves water quality. As water enters the skimmer, the large debris is caught in the skimmer basket or net and then further filtered through a filter mat.
Another important feature of a Pond Skimmer is that it provides a protective housing for your pond pump, in an easy to access location outside the pond for hassle-free maintenance.
We recommend use of Pond Skimmer if you are facing one or more of the below issues:
- If your pond is frequently getting clogged
- If you are spending more time cleaning your pond and unable to enjoy its beauty
- If you have plants surrounding your pond and you often need to use a net to draw out the fallen debris such as leaves and twigs.
Most of the Skimmer units retailed by us also have a filter mat for that offer additional filtering of smaller debris particles such as fish waste or uneaten fish food. As a good practice, you may monitor the quantity of debris collected in your skimmer during different times of the year. This will help to ascertain the cleaning cycle needed for the unit.
We also recommend to team up a good biological filtration system, with an appropriate mechanical filter to remove solids before the water enters the biological filtration unit. This is the most effective way to filter water and maintain a long-lasting healthy pond habitat. Your fish are happier and less stressed when their environment is healthy. Not to mention, it’s so much more enjoyable when you can actually see your fish swimming in clean water created by an efficient pond filtration system.
